In 2026, all of Nodeulseom is operated as the paid Orange Play Zone. It is not a walk-in viewing lawn: guests need an official booking, the purchaser’s identity check and an entry wristband. Prepare the process before you travel so the ticket itself does not become the reason you miss the show.

Plan before you leave

The festival notice says seating is first-come within the zone printed on the ticket, rather than a fixed numbered seat. Book the same zone as your group, arrive early if sitting together matters, and treat the view images as guidance rather than a guarantee. Trees, structures and other guests can still affect a particular angle.

Open the Orange Play app before leaving and make sure the original mobile ticket is visible under the purchaser’s account. Screenshots are not accepted. Bring the purchaser’s physical ID; after identity verification, the purchaser may collect accompanying guests’ tickets and wristbands as well.

What to do on site

The on-site ticket booth is announced for 1:00–5:00 p.m. on September 5. Do not plan to exchange a wristband at the last minute. Tickets are subject to the booking rules, and same-day changes or refunds are not available.

Nodeulseom is reached by walking about 600 m from Exit 2 of Node Station on Line 9. Buses may pass the Nodeulseom stop without stopping on the festival day, and the island car park is unavailable. Build in walking time and follow staff directions after arrival.

Final check

A ticket proves your booking, but it does not replace app login, ID verification or timely arrival. Keep bags small and keep passages open once inside.

  • Open the original mobile ticket in the Orange Play app
  • Bring the purchaser’s physical ID
  • Finish wristband collection before the booth closes
  • Confirm the booked zone and first-come seating rule
  • Use Node Station and allow for the walk
